Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard famously took two golf shots on the Moon where it’s been estimated that an expertly hit shot could travel for 70.0 s through the Moon’s reduced gravity, airless environment to a maximum range of 4.00 km (about 2.5 miles). Assuming such an expert shot has a launch angle of 45.0°, determine the golf ball’s (a) kinetic energy as it leaves the club, and (b) maximum altitude in km above the lunar surface. Take the mass of a golf ball to be 0.045 0 kg and the Moon’s gravitational acceleration to be g moon = 1.63 m/s 2 .
